Elevation to left of entrance front, abutting High Street, has a 3-window range
of large C19 three-light windows with transoms and cusped headed lights. Flush

Interior: entrance hall has C17 style panelling, some is probably original,

originally probably not a manor house, has been in continuous ownership of the
